A controversial bid to name a Brooklyn street after the late self-proclaimed “anti-white” activist Sonny Carson isn’t dead just yet.

A pair of Community Board 3 members – Robert Taylor and Ruth Carter – have filed a lawsuit against the City Council, charging its decision to remove Carson’s name from a list of proposed street renamings was “arbitrary and capricious.”

They want it overturned by a judge.

Council Speaker Christine Quinn had Carson’s name removed from a list of proposed renamings last week, and said it would be voted on at a later date.

The suit calls the move “unprecedented,” and said it violates the constitutional rights of Brooklyn residents who’d wanted a four-block stretch of Gates Avenue named for Carson, who died in 2002.

In a statement, a spokesman for the council said it has the final decision-making powers on the matter.
